Does anyone know of a way to restart a specific host via script?

We implement a host per orchestration project and when we deploy new version
s we want to 'bounce' the host, but not the whole BizTalk service.

net stop "bizTalk Service BizTalk Group : BizTalkServerApplication"
net start "bizTalk Service BizTalk Group : BizTalkServerApplication"

This will bounce the service, but i want to bounce a host. Any tips?

Use WMI. The MSBTS_HostInstance offers Stop/Start services:

To create your WMI script, you can modify the "Update" WMI script at:

Thanks.
